STANDARD Physics Kinetic Energy Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Assertion: Average kinetic energy per molecule of any ideal monoatomic gas is 32kT\frac{3}{2} k T. Reason: Average kinetic energy depends only on temperature and is independent of the nature of the gas.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to the temperature and is independent of the type of gas, supporting the reason but not explaining the assertion.
